Quer saber qual foi o automóvel mais vendido no seu ano?

Whether it’s the year of birth or the event you consider most special since 1972, you can match each date to a car that has dominated Europe commercially, across all categories.

The data compiled and published by “BestSellingCarsBlog” only refers to the last five complete decades of sales, starting from 1972, the year that marked the end of the reign of the VW Beetle in the Old Continent, before being surpassed by the Fiat 127 in 1973, when the Italian brand placed two cars on the podium, with the 128 at #2.

They were followed by:
